Comment If you haven't tried it, don't bash it. (Score 2) 359

A lot of comments here sounds like people reckon they wouldn't like touch screens, but haven't had a time to get good at them. It doesn't take long. I was skeptical of my Windows 8 laptop with a touch screen, I usually hate to use a mouse, and know all the keyboard shortcuts. After a little while, though, I got into a great flow using the screen to navigate around. I think it's only fair to form an opinion after giving touch screens real chance.

Comment Do you think our sexual evolution is group based? (Score 1) 1142

I have read various arguments against the common view of human sexual evolution of "coy female / slutty male". Instead, it has been argued these traits were imposed around the time agriculture was being developed (too short for evolutionary changes to occur). This would suggest our evolutionary disposition may not the standard "female feins fidelity to keep male / male tries to secretly impregnate many", but instead a more group approach (lots of free love) using the uncertainty of who fathered a child to encourage many males to invest slightly in many children (a safer strategy so as not to have all your eggs in one basket.) Many interesting reasons have been given to support this idea, but I did not come to outline them. Instead I have the following question: Have you come across group sexuality evolution theories and rejected them? If so, why? If not, I strongly encourage you to investigate and am interested to subsequently hear your opinion. Thank you for all you have given to the world with your wonderful work.

Bombastic The idea of the game is based on moving dice around until you form groups with the same number on the top. It might sound simplistic, but it's really well done, and aren't many good games built on simple ideas? It's also not PC, it's PS2, but this game is great for playing together, and skill level doesn't seem to matter. I played with a girl who hardly plays any computer games and she did about as well as me. If that's not the case for you, 2 player has handicaps; co-op and vs. and many different modes.
